The very cool folks at the Huffington Post asked me to contribute an essay for Father's Day, so here it is,
"What I Know About Fatherhood Now That I Have a Teen With a Disability":
In the midst of all my fretting and errors, Schuyler has quietly persevered, and found her own successes. With time, I've finally started to see how she might make her way through a rough and beautiful world.
And I like to think I've learned a few things, albeit through trial and error and error and error.
Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there, and to all of you who are doing the work of fathers. Our moment in the sun may be fleeting, but maybe you'll get a nice tie out of the deal.
I loved this post. I have so enjoyed and reaped blessing upon blessing from reading your story over the past few years. Happy Father's Day, Robert.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on an essay in the HuffPo! I can't wait to read it. Happy Father's Day...you deserve it. I've read you for years, and I am always amazed by your sensitivity, love, and advocacy. The world is a better place, and not just Schuyler's...all of us.
